why was the battle of Mogadishu such a shit show? how accurate was the movie in it's portrayal of the events?
It was a shit show because Bush sent them in there with no armour, artillery, nothing.
Provided a few lessons though:
- peacekeeping is gay and a waste of white lives
- no military should be half arsed ever again. Go in heavy with everything or don't go in at all

Wasn't it Clinton? I'm not American so I don't know this off the top of my head.

>got lost
one would think they would have a general map or some kind over overwatch for this?
>whole city
a bunch of malnourished redguards vs the army. it seems like it would have been fish in the barrel for us to just hose the whole city down with .50's and m60's and shit.

Bush sent them initially and with no armour, faggots. Clinton was President when the Battle of Mogadishu went down. imo they share responsibility for the absolute shit show

The gun doesn't care if your a skeleton, muscular or fat. You see lil kids accidentally shooting themselves all the rime. A skeleton knee grow can do it too.

you don't need turbine engines to do effective CAS innacity a turboprop would work just fine

Basically the SF force had no contingency plan in case things went to shit. There was no QRF on standby and nobody thought they would need heavy armor or air support.
